Well I'm glad for you that ya got the easy way out to not getting your ass sued.
As much as I hate to say it its young people (such as yourself) that settle for the plea bargains and enable the legal system (especially municipal) to walk all over us like we're "stupid kids".
If I was you I would have been contested all charges in court, then when she filed a civil I would have counter sued for defamation of character, lost wages, legal fees etc. I understand that not everyone wants to take the low road to be "right" in the end but **** is just out of control with what people get away with.
Heres the couple things I'd really like to know:
Was she even there in court?
Did she speak her side of the story or was it a total plea bargain with zero "trial"
Did the judge/prosecutor find the whole thing rediculous when you explained youself?
O and do you have it in writing that no further civil suit is to be filed?
